Title: A computer forum?
Post by: BayGBM on December 05, 2008, 08:34:19 PM
May I suggest a forum for computer questions.  Many getbiggers eventually have a question about computers: using them, which one to buy, Mac or PC, desktop or laptop, transferring files, ipods, iPhones, syncing files between your computer and another device, must have applications (that do not come with the computer), etc.

Some of the questions posed are repeats.  It would be good to have all this computer talk in ONE forum.

Thanks to BroadStreetBruiser, I don't visit the Z board and never will again, so posting computer questions there will never get a reply from me.

No need. My mind is at ease. 

He locked a thread based on his personal bias, but there was no harm done; I recreated the thread in the Sex forum and every participant reposted their comments and the dialogue continues there.  As near as I can tell the Z forum is really just a back and forth between the moderators.  So, I have no cause to go there again.  In fact,

One day in the Sex forum generated more views and responses than a week in the Z forum.  Moving this thread from Z to Sex was an upgrade. Bah ha ha ha ha ha

Doom approves.


Still, I think a computer forum would be a good idea.  I have answered several repeat questions myself via PM and on the General board.

If you are not interested in such a forum (or the prospect of one) you can ignore it.  Some people want/need more hand holding than simply being told to go find it on google.

I can create a sticky in the business & info board.  I have POWER! Also, we have had some software questions and electronics questions there before.  Also since i or 240 will are mods, we can actually eliminate the "is there a urine powered mp3 player/dvd burners/macs" threads  :D

those all in one programs to rip dvds are the right choice for people who dont really understand/dont want to understand/dont really care about quality

But if you want to make a perfect copy, there are some manuals at doom9 that will guide you how to shrink a dvd9 in dvd5.

Anyway, you should buy a dvdr dl burner, buy dvd9 media and problem solved :)
